...Obama on Monday tried to undercut National Rifle Association leaders and appeal directly to their membership, claiming gun owners support the "common-sense" gun control measures he's proposed -- and urging those supporters to "keep the pressure" on Congress.

....spoke in Minnesota, in his first campaign-style stop as part of a second-term push for new firearms laws...

Without once mentioning the NRA by name, Obama on Monday said gun control supporters should tell their members of Congress that "there's no legislation to eliminate all guns."

Despite opposition not only from the NRA but a number of Republican lawmakers, Obama tried to claim Monday that a "consensus" is forming around the kinds of gun control measures he's pushing in Washington, in the wake of the tragic Newtown, Conn., shooting.

I’m a former long term NRA member who resigned years ago because I just got tired of all their requests for money, but re-upped around Thanksgiving for a 3-year period because they really do need it now.

“gun owners should tell their Congress critters that there is no legislation to eliminate all guns” WTF? How insulting. Obviously everyone who disagrees with Obama is a retard running around thinking his 23 orders are to eliminate all guns? By and large the Conservative side of nearly every arguement is better informed. I swear Obama is such a condecending jackass that its tough to tell if he meant to call us all stupid or just gave us a glimpse of what he thinks.

This the time to stick together and make our voices heard. The only reason Obama’s paying attention is because we have been resisting enthusiastically.
The universal background check push is the most dangerous: if they get it, they will have gotten de facto control of all firearms transactions - then they’ll tighten things further until there’s nothing left at all.
Keep call our representatives, keep fighting!

New Berlin, WI  (Jan. 11, 2013) In a first for the outdoor TV industry, Sportsman Channel and NRA announced today they are bringing the NRAs popular talk-radio show NRANEWS Cam & Co. to television every weekday live from 5-6pm ET beginning Jan. 15.

All right, I've softened my stance on the matter as requested by My President. I told my Congressional reps that instead of boiling them in oil if they so much as considered voting for a single measure, I'd only hang, draw and quarter them.

Great listing! As much as I despise my libturd demoRAT socialist bastard congress-critter Tim Walz, I will call his DC office tomorrow and layout these “common sense” proposals to the poor sap who answers the phone.

Common sense tells us that the belief that we must life at the expense of others must violate timeless moral principles.

Common sense tells us that eventually this ideology must involve universal coercion using the implied deadly force of government.

Common sense tells us that of course socialists want our guns because that enables that coercion.

Common sense recalls that socialism caused the deaths of over 100 million people last century.

Common sense tells us that only fools give up their guns.

Common sense tells us that yes having guns will extract a cost when crazy people and criminals run amok with them, but that cost is nothing compared to how many people can die when government ran amok.

I’m getting tired of the leftist agenda on gun control in the last twenty yrs. it’s time we pass a fed law that criminalizes infringement of our 2nd ammendment rights . Any politician or govt employee (fed,state,county,local ) that attempts to pass laws,regulations,rules that infringe our rights, should be prosecuted as a felon. Perhaps a 2-5 yr prison term. If the infringement results in reducing the security of our citizens, then a charge of treason could be justified.

Obama’s swing at “common sense” gun control is starting the pot boiling for the little froggies. Stay outta the pot, gun owners. You’ll be a State classified mental case and criminal before you know it.
